My dsd has a habit of relaying everything that is said or done in our house back to mum. As a result this has caused numerous arguments over things that don't matter. (Some do and I get why mum goes bonkers so I apologise to the kids if I've overstepped a mark)
Anyway theme general contact is we get kids 2 or 3 nights mid week and Every other weekend. we drop kids off in mornings when mid week and i pick them up one night a week.
My work is literally 5 min drive from kids mum's house. But more recently she is refusing to bring them over as she has no petrol and could 'always' not just come get them.
This really gets on my nerves because 1. i am not a taxi service , 2. Why does she have no petrol when she knows she has to do drop offs and 3. I'm fed up with anything I say going back to mum so less time I have on my own the better.
Yesterday she ducked out of a dropoff as she was going past my work and thought I could just bring them home to save her from doing so. Dp asked me but I was working on later and I said she'd be just as quick dropping them off. She said no it's fine and waited. (Until she had to leave for work and kids were just hanging about my works car park) so I asked dp if she was dropping kids off today (my usual pick up) and he said no I have to do it.
This has really pissed me off because of the reasons above and the fact that I am now being so petty. It seriouslya boys me that sh. Always manages to just do 1 drop off this week while we will be making 5 this week.
dp does the dropping off in mornings now after a recent incident which resulted in me shouting at dss because he was arsing about while I'm rushing out the door to get them home and go to work.
Dp cannot see why im so pissed off.
I know I'm being unreasonable because the kids are just5 minutes from my work so it shouldn't matter but it does to me. I feel I am being taken advantage of.
